According to folklore, Dozmary Pool is where Excalibur was thrown by Sir Bedivere after the Battle of Camlann and Arthur’s death, reports The Sheffield Star, which tweeted a photo of Matilda with the sword.

Sir Bedivere threw Excalibur into the lake, an arm rose from the surface, caught the sword and vanished back into the water. Dozmary Pool is the home of the Lady of the Lake and is where a young Arthur rowed out to claim the mighty sword.

According to some interpretations of the Arthurian legend, the owner of Excalibur is the rightful monarch of England.
